Forescout's research shows AI can dramatically accelerate vulnerability discovery in critical infrastructure TCP/IP stacks, reducing analysis time from nine months to 90 hours and uncovering many new high-severity bugs at minimal cost. This shift raises urgency for organisations to prioritize risk containment over patching due to legacy system constraints and rising cyber threats, especially in the UK where hacktivist and state-sponsored attacks have surged in 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
AI is slashing the time and cost to find critical infrastructure bugs, putting pressure on you to rethink security around legacy systems rather than rely on patching. This acceleration unlocks a new demand for tools that help contain risk in hard-to-patch environments.
